I’m surprised no one posted about the offer from thorfireus coupon facebook page for the C8S. From the info provided it seems to be the newest version except it doesn’t have the ‘u shaped’ tail. At $8 each (including shipping) for US buyers it seemed like a good deal so I ordered two. I’m not a big fan of the C8 external design but since Thorfire is well respected and the price was good and payment via paypal I couldn’t pass on it.
Depends. Can’t find any mention of the CT/tint of the emitter, so might need to warm it up. Also dunno the driver, if it has any annoying strobe modes that are too easy to get to. Otherwise, I might just leave them as-is, give as gifts, whatever. Keeping at least a couple for myself, of course.
I should know more about this deal by the end of the week. The facebook post said internally they are the same as the newest version but nothing about color temp. The last message I received on sunday said shipping was arranged with amazon and I should receive them within 5 days which would be friday or saturday depending on actual shipping date. At $8 each via paypal I thought they worth taking the chance and worth a post.
Can never have to many c8s. I have a c8 army myself, with x6s in reserves. I like to make matching sets of c8s and x6s. I gave my dedoned xpg2 c8 away I have to replace that one whenever I can. But next in line is c8s with the sst40 and luxeon v leds.
I sent an email and got a response wanting my Paypal account name along with my address for shipping. I am expecting an invoice on my Paypal account but I haven’t received one yet. Still waiting. I just ordered one off Amazon a few days ago and thought at that price I would pick up a few extras for gifts.
